Chicken?

While at Langley Memorial Hospital you might notice signs warning about the consequences of parking your car in the wrong location (ticket, towing). While at Mukinge Hospital the warnings are of a more rural nature. If you bring your chicken to the hospital it may well end up cordon bleu or kiev!

Chickens here are mostly free range and are apparently prized dead or alive. While we have been here 2 separate missionary households have had their chickens stolen – Jan Matthews had 4 of her live chickens taken in the middle of the night and the Tompkins had several frozen chickens lifted from their freezer in broad daylight!

I think the moral of all this is that while in Zambia, one really needs to keep a close reign on one’s chickens.
